Great, now we'll let you know when they play in your city!

You're not a fan of this artist anymore, the sellouts that they are.

Rival Schools are a post-hardcore band from New York, featuring Walter Schreifels on vocals and guitar; Ian Love on guitar; Cache Tolman on bass guitar; and Sam Siegler on drums.



Formed by Schreifels, frontman of the influential group Quicksand, Rival Schools were a hardcore 'supergroup' - its members being alumni of such '80s and '90s hardcore bands as Gorilla Biscuits (Schreifels), CIV (Siegler), Youth of Today (Schreifels and Siegler) and Iceburn (Tolman).



The band's name (and that of their only LP) comes from the Capcom fighting game, Rival Schools: United By Fate. In their short history, the band toured both the United Kingdom, supporting A, and the United States.



As of 2008, the band have reformed to play some live shows, including Rock Am Ring in Germany, Hove Festival in Norway, a headline tour and Download Festival in the United Kingdom. They have also been writing new material.
